No Sugar Week

All right the consensus is to keep the blog and I will act as Dad's scribe and cut and paste his comments into the blog.

From Dad: How am I supposed to balance zero sugar with beer and gum drops?

Me

Cut and pasted below my e-mail from earlier.  Please review the post & comments from Tuesday and let me know if the rule change below seems fair/unfair.

Next week is 8 vegetable servings a day. Does anyone want  5 of 7 compliance for this one? I would vote no as adding veggies is way more manageable than No Sugar and no whole food, but I'm willing to listen.

I am up to 3 push-ups, which Bill says is totally lame since I had to do 50 in my Cross Fit workout today, but hey, rules are rules. (until of course we change them)

And, Missy has an argument against counting Agave as natural, but I have suppressed her comments until I win the no sugar contest.

How is No Sugar week going?  I'm doing well and just had a sip of my morning tea 
with unsweetened coconut milk and agave and it tastes MUCH better than it did 2 
days ago, so I know I'm starting to kick the sugar habit. I have also maintained 
the water habit as has Bill.


Since this is a tough contest we will do daily points. If you are sugar 
compliant all 7 days you will get a bonus point for a total of 8 points. If 
sugar compliant for 2 days = 2 points, 4 days = 4 points etc.


For me the sugar is the number one weight obstacle AND overall body messer 
upper. When I get off the sugar I sleep better, eat better, have less stomach 
upset and, after about 4 days more energy, and NO afternoon grogginess.

Do give it your best shot, even though it's really hard!!!!
